Ola (3-1, 2-1) trailed 38-22 after Jason Bonner's fifth touchdown of the game - a 2-yard run with 11:19 remaining - before the comeback began. Noakes, who finished the night with 205 yards rushing on 15 carrries and 198 yards on 12 of 26 passing, moved the Mustangs within 38-28 on a 1-yard touchdown run with 8:32 left to play.

Noakes then struck through the air, hitting Blake Mans with a 47-yard touchdown pass with 2:38 remaining. Noakes then picked up a key block while scrambling to score the two-point conversion, making it a 38-36 game.

Josh Johnson then set up the winning score by recovering the onside kick. Ola went from there, keeping things mainly on the ground until Noakes was stopped for a short gain, causing the Mustangs to call their final time-out with 42 seconds play.

Ola elected to go into a no-back set, and Noakes were forced to scramble for a little bit. Despite heavy pressure, the Ola quarterback found Lawrence in the end zone for the winning score.

Magazine had a final chance after Bonner returned a squib kick to the Rattler 49. Two plays later, however, Alex Adams ended Magazine's hopes with an interception with 22 seconds remaining.

Ola jumped out to an 8-0 lead at the 9:24 mark in the first quarter as Noakes hit Mans with a 36-yard touchdown strike, then the Mustangs later added the two-point conversion. Magazine, however, picked up a trio of touchdowns from Bonner, then Donald Bonner's touchdown run put the Rattlers ahead by a 25-6 margin with 2:29 left in the first half.

Noakes, however, electrified the crowd with a 73-yard touchdown run moments later, which included eluding six Magazine tacklers and bumping into an official. The two-point conversion was good, pulling Ola within 25-16 at intermission.

Magazine added a touchdown in the third period on Jason Bonner's 56-yard touchdown run, but Ola kept things close as Mans scored on a 2-yard run, making it 32-22 with 5:33 left in the period.

Lawrence wound up being Noakes' favorite target with six catches for 74 yards, followed by Johnson with three receptions for 28 yards and Mans with 83 yards on two receptions. Mans also had 51 yards on 10 carries.

The Mustangs take a break from league play next week and travel to Cedarville.

Jessieville 9, Danville 7

DANVILLE - The Little Johns drove to the Jessieville Lions 2 late in the fourth quarter, but a turnover prevented Danville from taking the lead as Jessieville won the 5AA Conference matchup 9-7 Friday night at Little John Field.

Danville (1-3, 1-2 5AA) scored first in the second quarter on Chase Peek's 1-yard touchdown. Rhine James added the point-after kick to give the Little Johns a 7-0 advantage.

Before the end of the first half, Jessieville (4-0, 3-0) closed its deficit to 7-6 on a 2-yard TD run. The Lions took the lead in the third quarter when they booted a 24-yard field goal to go on top 9-7.

A fumble recovered by the Lions at the Jessieville 2 halted the drive and a chance at a come-from-behind victory.
